Laytonville, CA
This evening in the western sky, my husband and I saw a cluster of connected lights flashing red, orange, green and white. The lights hovered in one spot then moved left to right, up and down. It bounced all around the area. Then it disappeared from sight. At first we thought it might be a star and due to atmospheric conditions it might just appear to be moving. After watching it hover and behave so erratically and the flashing lights, we felt that no star could do this.

Salt Lake City, UT
At 7:25 am on Friday, October 9, 2015, while heading north on HWY 215 I began to notice some bright lights in the sky near the airport. This is not uncommon, but the lights themselves were! I compared them to what were obviously planes coming and leaving from SLC Airport, and noticed several differences, which lead me to conclude that these might be UFOs. The lights in question were absolutely stationary. There was not a strong wind at the time, but planes do inch along in the sky, and there were conventional aircraft doing just that. The navigational lights of the planes were strong and steady, while the unknown lights I was witnessing scintillated like stars. The radiation of their lights was inconsistent; they pulsated rhythmically, and seemed to alternately glow very bright and get larger, and then diminish in luminosity and size to the point of disappearing. Then they may – or may not – reappear! These UFOs just hung there in the sky above the airport absolutely still while passenger planes came and went. I didn’t think to count them at the time, but I now estimate there were between 5-8 such lights positioned at various points in the sky. Some were as far east as to be visible in front of the mountain range just north of the city, while others were much further west. The westernmost light was observed to get very low to the horizon in a slow, vertical descent, which made me wonder if it was landing! There was the main grouping of lights, which formed a line of three in a diagonal. For the most part, they just seemed to hang there in the sky, with the exception of the one that moved down slowly toward the horizon. I had to park my car at work and go in to start my day, but I did snap four pictures with my old school “dumb phone”, but even with computer enhancement later I can detect no trace of the UFOs. In one photograph, I believe the descending UFO may be visible, but I cannot be certain. My photos reveal nothing, but even if they had, they would just be pinpoints of light in the sky above an airport; so what? The lights my eyes saw, however, were twinkling like stars, pulsating and changing in brightness. They were absolutely stationary. I feel fairly certain that I was witness to an early morning display of extraterrestrial craft over Salt Lake City. Then again, they could have been something sent up by Hill Air Force Base, but they certainly caught my attention because of their odd qualities and behavior.

There was a bright white light when viewing this light at 20x zoom it had a white light, red light and green light on. It moved in a circular motion and was lower then the stars. It was an intense light that shot a bright white discharge that faded after 200 feet. This happened three times. After tracking this object for more then 3 years, I have never seen it do this before its always flickering red, green and blue. As of 10/10 its no longer to be found in the sky.

We watched them move across the sky light came on then went off, this has happened several times two went one way, the other stayed, a plane also went the opposite direction but the objects where up further! This has happened a dozen times or so.

On Thursday 10-08-15, my husband was driving home after being in a conference in Durham, nc, through a small town by the name of Mebane. He stopped at a exit where there was a gas station still open. He said he pulled in and saw several people staring across the street toward the sky. When he came out he realized that everyone was staring a dark object surround by blurry white light engulfed in a orangish-pink light. my husband, who is a skeptic about all things unexplained, decided it was some sort of jet/airplane, until the light began to appear to move very slowly in a back and forth motion. He claimed the he was still able to see the light until he reached Greensboro city limits. When he came home and told me about what he saw and I immediately wanted to go back and take a few pictures. I grabbed my phone and we went back the same route he went. It appeared to have been gone, so we turned around to head back home. We took a back route through G! reensboro and we came upon tow cars parked almost in the middle of a lane. There it was. Clear as you can imagine. My husbands description was fairly accurate except I wouldn't say it was moving back and forth. I would describe it as more of a hoover, a bob like motion. I took my camera out and although my phone didn't get the best shot, it is evident that whatever it was definitely moving, very slowly and it was not an aircraft that we are used to hear. There was also an older couple who own a bar a few feet from where we stopped who came out and said they had someone call the police and worker were being drilled by the operator. He was adamant that they knew something was going on and wanted to know who saw it. I hope someone steps forward and explains this, I've had no sleep and I can't stop searching the sky's for another one.

My wife, brother in law and I saw a hazy orange boomerang shaped light go across the sky over us.It was coming from the south and heading north. It was slow moving and flying just above the tree tops. The object should have been making a sound since it was flying so low, but it never made any kind of sound. We was standing in the driveway talking about one of the vehicles my brother in law was working on when we saw the light.

Le 7 octobre 2015 vers 20h20, un habitant d'EVRON (53) aperçoit par sa fenêtre une lumière aux reflets bleus dans le ciel. Il revoit le PAN 5 minutes plus tard, alors qu'il va se coucher. Il appelle alors son fils et tous les deux observent le PAN pendant 2 à 3 minutes. Il appelle ensuite son frère, résidant un hameau de la commune voisine de SAINTE-GEMMES-LE-ROBERT (53), pour lui signaler l'observation, et prend son caméscope pour filmer le PAN. A la fin de cette première observation, le témoin part de chez lui en compagnie de son fils vers 21h10 et arrive chez son frère vers 21h15. Ce dernier l'attend avec un voisin. En sortant de sa voiture, le témoin principal revoit de nouveau le PAN. Les quatre personnes voient un nouveau PAN au-dessus d'un relief local. Le frère et le voisin rentrent chez eux. Le témoin principal et son fils voient alors 5 nouveaux phénomènes lumineux au-dessus du relief. Le témoin tente de les filmer, mais son caméscope refuse de fonctionner. L'observation cesse à 21h25. Le témoin signale son observation à la gendarmerie le lendemain. Le 9 octobre vers 6h00, il voit deux nouveaux PAN dans le ciel, qu'il filme. Ces vidéos ont été enregistrées à l'aide d'un caméscope Sony DSR PD150. Le témoin a fourni deux vidéos des observations : la première, qui dure 1m51s, est un récapitulatif de l'observation du 7 octobre, et a été publiée sur Youtube le 10 octobre. La seconde, qui dure 12m09s, montre l'ensemble des prises de vue du témoin réalisées le 7 octobre au soir et le 9 octobre au matin. D’étrangeté moyenne, mais de consistance suffisante (voir le compte rendu d'enquête), ce cas s'avère être une méprise certaine avec différents objets astronomiques : Arcturus, Vega, Capella, Aldébaran, Sirius, Jupiter et Regulus. La qualité des vidéos prises par le témoin permet de bien situer les différents PAN par rapport à des repères terrestres, et les zooms montrent différentes étoiles moins lumineuses à proximité. Avec ces éléments, une vérification sur Stellarium permet d’identifier de façon certaine chacun des PAN. Ce cas est classé A, méprise certaine avec les objets astronomiques suivants : Arcturus, Vega, Capella, Aldébaran, Sirius, Jupiter et Regulus. [GEIPAN classification A — Etoile]

Between the time 19:48 and 19:58 on October 7, 2015, I was sitting outside watching the sky, waiting on the International Space Station to pass from the NW. As the ISS came into view, I immediately realized they were not alone!... The ISS was traveling at a speed of around 18,000 mph, the UFO (a bright light) was traveling directly above the ISS matching its speed exactly and then all of a sudden it SHOT straight up and disappeared!... I was on the phone with some family members who were also outside about 5 miles from my location and witnessed the exact same thing at the same time as I did. We all at the same time said "that was a UFO did you just see that?!?!...

My grandpa went outside. A few minutes later he called me outside. We both saw lights bright blinking red, white, and green. It was far away and was going from north to south at a very fast pace then stopped and hovered. Then it dropped a bit and jumped up and down quickly. It kept hovering then jumping up and down. We see airplanes, satellites and stars all the time because we live in the country but have never seen anything like this. We went inside to grab the camera took about five minutes to find the camera but it was gone when we returned outside. There was a smell like something burning but we couldn't locate the source.

I was looking at the sky there seemed to be lots of movement in the stars I saw want seemed to be the a few stars/ lights almost visiting each other one would fly to the next. Then I heard a siren from the firehouse and that's when I saw 5 or six ships flying together appear to cross overhead and head west. I noticed they did not make a sound I was shaken by what I saw. I wanted to call someone to tell them but who would believe such a crazy thing. I alway look at the sky at night I have never seen anything like this it was as if they where in a military formation I would say it was like seeing 6 mini fighter jets shooting through the sky at lightening speed. So high in the stratosphere to be a jet plane flew in a smooth motion disappeared so fast like 6 shooting stars in a flight pattern formation.

Saw a bright green light fly through the sky at very high speeds at 8:00 pm. It lasted for 1-2 seconds and was gone. Did not look like it was burning. Looked more like it was being powered to create the bright almost LED green.

Took the dog out about 8:00 PM and was looking at the Milky Way when I noticed a bright flash of light lasting 1-2 seconds a few degrees due east of the constellation Cassiopeia. Thought it might have been an Iridium Flare. I would estimate the magnitude about -4 or -5 with a bluish color. About 30 seconds later it flashed again, not as bright and slightly more east of first sighting. This "flashing" continued for a good 10 to 15 minutes every 30 seconds or so with the intensity varying as the location of the flashes continued to move in a easterly direction. I went in and got my wife and she also observed the light. She wondered if it could have been the ISS and almost on queue the ISS came into view in the western sky moving north/northeast. We live in the flight path of Newark and JFK airports so jets in our night sky are an common thing but this was different than any plane/jet I've ever seen. I'm also an amateur astronomer and have been for over 40 years and have seen everything from bolide meteors, satellites, all the naked eye planets, auroras, comets and to many other astronomical items to list but what I saw last night baffles me. I'm not saying this was UFO but it was something I've never seen before in the night sky. Would like to know else in my area that might have noticed this phenomenon.

There's a huge bright white light over Sherwood as I write this it's unexplainable. It's way to big to be a planet!

I was closing my window when I saw a white light with a flashing red light. At first i thought it was a plane but a plane passed by it and then started to show a bluish green light while moving side to side effortlessly. I went outside to get a better look and noticed 6 other, much smaller, balls of light moving. I thought they were stars but stars don't move nor do they get brighter or dimmer like these did. After 30 minutes, several of the smaller balls of light disappeared. One is still going side to side and the first one I noticed seems to be staying close by it. I don't know if I was seeing this right, but, I thought it looked like some of the balls of light were shooting at each other. I only say this because I saw faint white streaks coming from a few of these lights and other lights would move in a different direction as though they were dodging them.

I was out in backyard with dog looking up at the night sky as i usually do. I noticed 2 stars that were real bright one above the other, I thought it was a part of a star formatation this was in the north east sky, in fact everything I saw was in the north east sky last night. Anyways these 2 bright star shapes just got real bright and both just went dark one after the other. I was looking at the spot they had been and noticed an orange light very faint streaking very fast heading north, i thought maybe a satellite, but the about 2 minutes later i see 2 more of these faint orange lights going across the sky but they were headed in opposite directs at the same time, they passed by each other one going south and the other going north, i have never seen that before if they were satellites, but 3 of them in a 3 minute span is odd. I thought wow that was alot of action in the north east sky. I sat down and looked to a star I saw that was sort of dim in the north ! east sky, then right below it a bright orange light flared up and went dark, this happened about 3 times in a 5 minute span of time. that was the last of the activity I saw the rest of the night, I'll be out there tonight with telescope and camera hoping to catch something.

Really bright pulsing orange/red. Brightest thing in the sky at this time of night. And it moved in a straight line from north to south. It traveled from one horizon to the other in under 30 seconds.

Saw a very bright light and many smaller lights they were flashing colors being blue, white or yellow and green, the bigger light was showing colors but only around the light if you didn't look directly, all of the lights were moving up and down and side to side, I have videos and pictures of the event, is happening again currently, less extra crafts and the bright main one is way father away. Never have I ever seen this kind of thing. Keep your eyes and skies open.
